Mysql restricts access outside the server after the installation (on not
all, but several cases) so i suggest to connect to the mysql database as
root and review the host values on the user table, that can give you an
idea of who is allowed and from where is allowed ...remeber that % means
anywhere.
If you need more information i suggest to read the manual searching by
users permissions.

Try to configure bind-address to the server's IP address, and ensure
skip-networking is not defined.
